Aid questions

6.—(1) For the purposes of these Regulations “aid questions” means questions as to whether or not aid should be granted pursuant to these Regulations in respect of an aided pupil.

(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), in the case of each aided pupil, the school shall determine aid questions for the school year in which he takes up an aided place and for each subsequent school year by reference to the relevant income as respects the pupil, whether or not the parents have been entitled to any aid as respects a previous school year.

(3) Where—

(a) a pupil holds an aided place at the school for part only of the school year or leaves the school part way through the school year, or

(b) the parents have two or more children who hold aided places (whether at the same or different schools) but the number of those children differs for different parts of the school year,

the school shall determine aid questions for that part, or separately for those parts, and the extent to which designated fees in respect of the part (or parts) of the school year are to be remitted shall be that proportion of the amount by which the fees for the whole school year would fall to be remitted, which is the proportion which the fees for the part (or parts) bear to the fees for the whole school year.
